Chapter 306: Can't Afford to Raise

Actually, it's quite normal to think about it.

[Arcane particle] infection can cause organisms to strengthen, mutate, and even evolve.

Since even insects, birds, and animals can absorb the "aura of heaven and earth" [Arcanon particles] to become essences, there is no reason why human beings, as the spirits of all things, would not react.

In fact, in this Datang version of the "aura recovery", it is precisely human beings who have gained the most benefits.

It's just that human beings, who have lost their wild instincts and innate instincts, don't know how to actively absorb the aura that pervades heaven and earth.

In the long process of evolution, humans who have lost their natural weapons and defenses such as minions and fur do not need to use their claws and teeth to forage and protect themselves in daily life.

In the absence of subconscious guidance and external environmental stimulation, it is natural that they will not take the initiative to strengthen this part of their own ability, but put the reinforcement in the direction of daily needs.

For example, the hands of a craftsman have become more dexterous, the sense of taste and smell of a chef has become more sensitive, the perception of a doctor has become more acute, the brain of a scholar has become more flexible, and the memory has become stronger.

This is different from animals simply hoping that they will become larger, run faster, have sharper claws, thicker fur, stronger reproductive ability, and other extreme enhancements, which belong to comprehensive reinforcement and the improvement of overall quality, and naturally evolve slower than animals.

Of course, the overall strengthening and the improvement of the overall quality will naturally enhance the basic abilities such as physique, strength, and agility, such as increasing strength, jumping higher, running faster, and so on.

This is especially reflected in the people in the Taiji Imperial Capital.

Just the neighborhood aunt and the little daughter-in-law next door don't have a problem to pick up a hundred and ten pounds of heavy objects with one hand.

Not to mention those laborers who do heavy work on the construction site of Tiangongmen on weekdays, all of them are as strong as oxen, and the half-human tall stone is lifted up and carried on the shoulder, and they walk with one hand and shake their arms.

The strength has increased, indicating that the physique has also increased.

Even the ones are not sick anymore, and the [Medical Holy Gate] Heavenly Hospital in the Taiji Imperial Capital is out of business.

Occasionally, if you have a small injury, you have to hurry up and send it to the hospital.

Even ordinary people can get this level of reinforcement in the high-concentration arcane energy environment of the Tai Chi Imperial Capital, not to mention those soldiers who have practiced the Xuanxiao School's "Body Forging Technique".

The phrase "the power of a few stones" was summed up by the disciples of the Xuanxiao Sect themselves, referring to how strong the constant power they could use.

Just like Bai Yuqi has 100 kilograms of unscientific constant strength, by cultivating the "Body Forging Technique" and constantly improving the strength of his body, the disciples of the Xuanxiao Sect can also increase their own normal strength to "one stone", that is, 60 kilograms, which they call "the power of one stone".

This "power of one stone" does not refer to lifting or carrying 60 kilograms of weight for a short time, but to be able to lift 60 kilograms of weight between gestures.

The method for the disciples of the Xuanxiao Sect to test whether they have reached the "power of one stone" is also quite simple, grab a stone lock weighing one stone with one hand, and put a sea bowl full of water on the back of the hand.

It is not easy to train the power of one stone through the whole body.

Consume a lot of nature, even the laborers who work on the construction site can eat a bucket of rice and ten catties of meat in one meal, not to mention their "martial arts" who are on the school all day long, grinding and refining themselves.

As a result, the disciples of the Xuanxiao Sect who cultivated the "Body Forging Technique" all evolved into big rice buckets that ate a lot and were hungry, and they had to eat once every two hours, or they would bite people if they were hungry.

is also due to the bumper harvest of the farm in [Shennongmen], there is no shortage of food and meat, or they really can't afford to supply their gang of big stomachs.

But the problem is that although eating and drinking are full, it is the same as raising pigs, eating 100 catties of food at a time, five meals a day and supper, people can't stand the cheeks, and they can only ask for the head of the old fairy Sun Lao of the [Medical Holy Gate].

Being able to eat proves that the body needs it, and Sun Lao Immortal took a group of [Medical Holy Gate] disciples to study for a long time.

Let them cooperate with the consumption, use the grain essence and precious medicinal materials to refine, and eat a Baigu Pill that can last a day without hunger, which reduces the amount of food.

But when Baigu Dan first started, eating one before every meal could still have an effect, but as their cultivation deepened and their forging strength increased, it began to work.

Guhuang pills, which are as hard as pebbles, swallow them in their stomachs one by one, not to mention how greasy and crooked they are, and the old Sun Immortal had to refine an enhanced version of Baigu Dan for them, and eat a "Thousand Grain Pill" that can last ten days without hunger.

Coupled with the tonic demon beast meat and the specially configured body forging medicinal bath, this barely met their needs.

But if it's just a few hundred Wuji Gate disciples, there is [Shennongmen] open supply, how much can they build with all their might

But under Li Shimin's command, there are still 10,000 dragoons who worship under the Xuanxiao Sect, and who have also practiced the "Body Forging Technique".

According to the calculation that a person eats one stone of grain for one meal, it is five stone of grain a day, and 10,000 people can eat 1.5 million stone grain in a month!

Even if the grain harvest is bumper and the price of grain has dropped to ten dollars a stone, in order to feed this group of dragoons, tens of thousands of yuan will have to be spent every month, and even the emperor can't bear it.

In desperation, he could only take out the emergency military rations such as "Tianji Bigu Dan and Flying Shrimp Hunger Filling Pills" that had been stored at the time of the locust plague, so that these big stomachs did not starve to death.

directly dispelled Li Shimin's idea of fully popularizing the "Body Forging Technique" in the Tang Dynasty Army, and the soldiers who practiced the "Body Forging Technique" became stronger, but the problem was that they couldn't afford it!

Due to the huge consumption of cultivating the Body Forging Technique, ordinary people can't afford it.

In addition, the cultivation of the "Body Forging Technique" needs to be taken together, and the controllable materials such as Baigu Dan, Thousand Grain Pills, and Body Forging Medicinal Bath refined by [Danding Gate] need to be taken together.

Therefore, in order to improve the overall strength of Datang, he simply made the "Body Forging Technique" public in the Mercenary Guild.

Allowing senior and senior mercenaries to consume points to exchange for exercises to practice on their own, the only condition is that they need to unconditionally obey the conscription in wartime, which can be regarded as a trick to spend other people's money to support their own soldiers.

This led to Bai Yuqi running away from home for most of the year.

In addition to the hundreds of Wuji Sect disciples under his command, Datang has reached [0th rank 20].

There are also about 10,000 [0-level 10] Wyvern guards, and a large number of [0-level 4] mercenaries, which can be regarded as the initial establishment of a human extraordinary combat force.
